Chapter 1212: Discussing the Grand Plan Together
It must be said, Ye Qinglian, the Supreme Elder, handles matters quite impartially.
First, with the punishment, stripping Ye Changkong of his position as Clan Leader, his status plummeted, and because he nearly led the Vermilion Bird Clan to extinction, from now on he will have no prestige within the clan. As for Ye Xingzhou, he must apologize to Ripple after the battle and guard Ripple’s mother’s grave for three years.
Secondly, all these punishments are based on after the great battle. Undoubtedly, this will convince everyone that they should bear the consequences for their mistakes. But as a Martial Artist of the Star Sea Martial Realm, they should also shoulder greater responsibilities.
The clan leaders all nodded, looking towards Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan was silent for a moment: "Since it’s already been said like this, I naturally have no reason to refute it. However, I also stated before that things are done to show others and also to show themselves. If after the battle, the Vermilion Bird Clan does not fulfill its promises, then that will be the day of the Vermilion Bird Clan’s annihilation!"
"You!" Ye Changkong, who was injured, said with a red face: "Our Supreme Elder has already said so, do you still not believe?"
"Shut up!" Ye Qinglian rebuked, then said to Liu Zixuan, "Rest assured, if they cannot fulfill it after the battle, then there is no need for you to act. Such a clan, it’s better to not have it!"
"Supreme!" Ye Changkong wanted to say something but stopped.
"Someone, take Ye Changkong back to the clan’s rear mountain and confine him." Ye Qinglian immediately ordered.
A few elders hesitated briefly, then stepped forward to take Ye Changkong away.
"Let’s move past this matter then."
Long Tengyun, the Supreme Elder of the Cyan Dragon Clan, smiled slightly: "Little friend Zixuan, could you step aside to chat for a moment?"
Liu Zixuan nodded: "Of course."
"You clan leaders and esteemed guests from the Alliance of the World, follow us. Let the others disperse." Long Tengyun spoke, glancing at Wu Zheng: "Bring that key too."
"Alright!"
Everyone dispersed, while the clan leaders and Ya Fei, Liu Zixuan, Qiqi, and others followed the two Supreme Elders to a pavilion in the Vermilion Bird Clan.
"I don’t want to mention the previous events again. Frankly, if little friend Zixuan hadn’t appeared this time, the Four Symbols Sect probably wouldn’t need a great battle, and it would eventually be eliminated by this world due to its incompetence. Clan leaders, when you have free time, think properly about whether your previous actions were right or not."
After taking their seats, Long Tengyun reprimanded.
After his words fell, the clan leaders all lowered their heads in shame, it seems this Cyan Dragon Clan’s Supreme Elder’s words carry great weight.
"Senior Tengyun, let’s discuss the matters of the Martial Realm." Liu Zixuan spoke.
Long Tengyun nodded: "I and sister Qinglian have a general understanding. Recently, some martial artists have infiltrated into the Star Sea. Their purpose is simple, it’s for Yudou’s treasure. Of course, the first step is naturally to gather the keys to the treasure."
"Exactly, as part of the Star Sea Martial Realm, at this time, we shouldn’t just think of ourselves but should stand out and consider the bigger picture." Ye Qinglian glanced at the clan leaders, then asked: "Little friend Zixuan, do you have any plans?"
Liu Zixuan paused: "Can’t really call it a plan, just some of my thoughts."
"To obtain the treasure, we must take the last key from the Four Symbols Sect. I discussed earlier with sister Ya Fei, we will protect the key, even if strong enemies come to seize it, relying on me and the experts from the Alliance of the World, we can fend off one or two."
"Though it is said this way, after all, this time, we will face the world’s top martial artists, can protect for a moment but not forever. Such a method is not sustainable." Long Tengyun spoke.
Liu Zixuan nodded: "Indeed, so we need a foolproof plan. Currently, if we want to maximize the protection of Yudou Treasure and avert losses for the Martial Realm, there is probably only one way."
"What is it?" Everyone looked at Liu Zixuan.
"Their biggest goal in the first step is the key, so it’s best to utilize this key to do some work, try to divide them, and achieve breaking them down one by one." Liu Zixuan spoke.
"This will not be easy, they came as a team, how can we divide them?" Ye Qinglian asked.
"Indeed not easy, so it requires everyone’s cooperation. Instead of guarding against their robbery, we should actively send it out!" Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully.
Ya Fei shot him a glance: "What exactly are you thinking about, speak directly."
"The martial artists coming to Star Sea this time will surely be of varying levels, and we should target those above the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven. So deliberately release news that we are preparing to auction this key, and those who come for the auction must be strong above the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven."
On hearing this, Long Tengyun’s eyes lit up: "You mean, after attracting them, directly eliminate this batch of martial artists?"
"Exactly!"
"But there are too many of them, we might not be able to eliminate them all at once. If the outside world detects this is a trap we set, it will surely incite public anger!" Ye Qinglian frowned.
"There will naturally be many, but not too many. Those possessing the other three keys will certainly not come, so our first step is to exhaust these martial artists."
Liu Zixuan paused: "This time, when we eliminate them, we must act swiftly and covertly. After completing it, the second step is to announce outwardly that the key has been bought by someone. In this way, other martial artists won’t keep focusing solely on the Star Sea Martial Realm."
"In this way, it is indeed the only way. What next then?" Long Tengyun asked.
"Next is the main act. Two of the other three keys are likely held by top foreign powers, using strategies isn’t feasible. So, unable to stop them from going to Yudou, the final resolution will be in Yudou."
Upon saying this, Liu Zixuan spread his hands: "As for how to resolve it, there are merely two paths, first is outside the treasure, exert all effort to stop them, second is inside the treasure, utilize the allure of the treasure to continue dividing them and break them down one by one."
"Bear in mind, that treasure is something dreamed of by countless martial artists, all martial artists facing such temptation will become selfish, that’s when it’s easiest to divide and break them down."
Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment: "This is perhaps the only feasible way, however, every step will be extremely difficult, any mistake will leave us passive."
"Originally, winning in danger, if there was no danger, then there wouldn’t be a need for the whole Martial Realm to mobilize!" Liu Zixuan laughed.
